Hello I'm David, I have been supported by the organization ( HFLW) and my three siblings, Irene, Quinn and Catherine since 2013 when I almost dropped out if school due to luck of school fee in that we are orphans we had no one to depend on.We have seen great changes in our lives not that Irene is in form four last grade in high school, and Quinn is in grade six primary level and Catherine is in pre-unit the final class then she join grade one primary level and me I'm now waiting to join an online university called University Of The People to take a course of Business Administration.Here in Kenya the HFLW has helped many needy children and family through education and it has expanded to the other parts of the country. Thanks to all the donors whom have participated in all ways, and Lory has shown great light to me and all those who are in the organization. Kind regards to all.
Hello, I have known Lory and HFLW now for 5 years. I have volunteered at home doing little craft projects to help raise funds for the students supported by this organization. In the last two years I have donated monthly $10 to a sweet little girl named Catherine who is 8 years old and an orphan. I have had such a wonderful time doing this and look forward to hopefully many more years! I am 91 years old! So we are never too old to give back and we don't have to be rich to do it either as I live on a fixed income. This organization uses 100% of what I give and what others give for the education program. This is definitely a charity that is worth helping because I know where my money goes. It's small but makes a big difference and very trustworthy.

Your an inspiration Ms. Alice! You are proof positive that it doesn't matter your age or financial status to become a volunteer. You have given freely and lovingly and it is appreciated beyond measure. Thank you so much for your time and efforts. Sincerely, Hearts For Love Worldwide/Lory
I have been a supporter of this organization since 2008. I know that my donations have gone to the children and projects for which I have intended and not divided to 1% to the child and the other 99% to the administration and wage of the organization's staff. All of the workers at Hearts For Love Worldwide are volunteers thereby enabling all the donations to work for the children of Kenya. I love the idea of being able to help open the world through education to many children who ordinarily would not have had that opportunity. Thank you Hearts For Love for your dedication and honesty in this endeavor.

Thank you Jennie for writing your review. You and your husband have been long term supporters sponsoring a boarding school student and allowing any extra funding to go to extra needs for others. As you know 100% goes to your sponsored child. Not only have you shared generously with money but you have shared your time as well volunteering with paperwork, and helping in the office! Again thank you for all you do!
Hi, my name is Alice and I have been a donor and a volunteer with Hearts For Love Worldwide for two years. I feel privileged to be a part of this organization. This organization is small but that is why I was drawn to them, because their goals are to really help others. You can see exactly the impact that the donations have. We are kept well informed of how our donations are used. I have volunteered on numerous occasions at fund raising events and working with Lory and others has been such a wonderful experience! I have heard that volunteering on a trip to Kenya is a great opportunity and I hope to be able to do that soon! Thank you!
I have been fortunate to be involved with Hearts for Love Worldwide. I have been able to help a young woman reach her dreams of further education. I have been sponsoring her to attend a boarding school in Kenya. I receive the status of her grades every quarter, and have been blessed to receive some personal letters from her as well. I am kept updated about her progress, and am able to see where every dollar goes that I send for her. I am more than happy to recommend this charity to others.

i was lucky to meet and work with hearts of love worldwide during lory`s last visit and i must say it was eye opener on the situation we have in Ngong,Nairobi in 2012.i was priviledged to capture some of the pictures of the volunteer work.i appreciate everything they have done and continue to do to this day, the work your doing to provide for the children in poverty providing,food,education,and to see children´s faces light with joy and hope is truly inspiring and humbling.Back here at home we remember hearts of love worldwide and we thank you and may God bless you.
I am so impressed with the selfless work done by this non-profit, and by the amount of benefit they can provide with the funds received. I have seen a video of the kids who have been helped by Hearts for Love Worldwide and they each show so much promise. All they need is some support and resources to help end the cycle of poverty.
I am so honored to support this organization because it gives directly to those who need it most, there are no middle-men, and I know that even the smallest donation makes a HUGE impact in the lives of those it serves to support.
I have seen the results of the work of HFLW first-hand and applaud their genuine efforts and devotion. This type of change can only be possible by the hard work and devotion of its passionate and committed volunteers and organizational leader.
I will continue to support and bring awareness to this wonderful organization as it strives to bring even greater change to the lives of individuals in Kenya through education, medical and food assistance. Together we can all make a change for the better!
I have fond memories of my first encounter without Jenny and Loryjacobs,both of Hearts For Love Worldwide. It was a gloomy day for me and Tusemezane children center. We were pondering the best way to throw in the towel. We did not
know where the next meal for the orphans would come from, were had no teacher not cook due to lack or salary allowance. I and the secretary Lucy were the only people left to volunteer to keep the centre running; buy now we had given up! Then comes these two hearts of love walk in so full if life,bubbling with joy and laughter, speaking words of hope . They promised to stand with Tusemezane and make it their priority, "Do not give up, hang in there ", were Loryjacobs words.
For sure they kept their word. It's wasn't easy for them & Tusemezane but today, i am so proud to be associated with Hearts For Love. Tusemezane can boast of the Kindness &love of HFLW. Among the achievements realized are:
Our daily feeding program is efficiently running with constant food supply. This means that the children do not drop out of school due to hunger to engage in risky behavior.
The School, Early Childhood Development Education is running smoothly because Hearts For Love are paying for two teachers and a cook.
85 children access food on a daily basis.
10 youth have access to Secondary Education.
We have 2 active women Groups engaging in entrepreneur activities in a bid to eradicate poverty,
A youth group empowered bye Hearts For Love, this is the same group that has produced the Tusemezane Documentary.
Construction of washrooms( pit latrines)
I am grateful that Tusemezane staff have gained skills in finance manage, book keeping and documentation, values like integrity, efficiency & transparency. I would recomend them without hesitation to any one without a second thought.

Although being aware of this organization since its inception, in 2010 I was able to travel to Kenya with Hearts For Love Worldwide. I was guided through the entire process and the expectations. I was even made aware of the poverty and dire conditions that the people in the area endured. What I wasn't forwarned about was that my heart would never be the same. The entire experience has been an everlasting memory. I find it hard to put into words my heartbreak for the children and people of this amazing land, while remembering the joy, hope and love that the prople share with you a visitor. Hearts For Love Worldwide made my journey unforgettable, and has changed my life. As a current officer, I am now fully aware that all donations given to the various programs are indeed spent in the manner of which the donator designated. From a personal experience, I can attest to the need of the children that Hearts For Love is trying to educate through its donations as well as the food it provides for those little ones.
Hearts For Love Worldwide remains the most honest nonprofit I know of. ALL of the donations go to the people and projects they were intended for. The CEO, Lory Jacobs gives tirelessly of herself to those she has met in Kenya. She continues to learn about what needs to be done within the country's parameters (Africa) for what she is able to do to help those in need. She works closely with an educated, dedicated woman named Margaret Karani who has set up a small school for children in Kenya called Tusemezane. HFLW has helped several children attend classes at a higher level as formal school is not free in Kenya. Between Lory, Margaret and the donations from private donors, many children have been fed and helped to achieve a higher level of living.
Before this nonprofit became more viable, this CEO dedicated her own money to helping others go to school and have enough food to succeed. She was working as a caregiver and sending part of her earnings to Kenya. The people in that country touched her heart very deeply when she made her first visit as a volunteer in 2008. That comittment to helping others continues to this day. She remains honest and believes in integrity as a way of life; that is why all donations go directly to the people she continues to work for in order that they may achieve a better way of life.
It would be terrific if this nonprofit, Hearts For Love Worldwide could be assisted with grants in order to help even more children not only attend school, but to just get a meal to survive another day knowing someone cared for them.
Thank you for your time in reading this.

I have watched this nonprofit grow for the past 4 years. The CEO, Lory Jacobs has given all of the donations to HFLW to the people in Kenya. She has also set up sponsors for the children that need to go on to the next level of education as they have to pay for their education in Kenya. She has gotten right in and helped with the projects that she has set up and implemented on her trips to Africa, and has brought pictures back of the people and examples of how they live. She has a feeling for those she has met and has encouraged others in that country to continue on with their desire to help others. She is a good business person with a heart. She has integrity, is honest with the donations and truly has a love and concern for those in Kenya.
